This is easily one of my favorite Nordstrom Rack locations. So many of these stores are messy and…read morepoorly organized, but it seems like they really care at this location. There is a great selection of men's and women's clothing as well as shoes and accessories. I really like that I can order things online to ship to the store and then I can try things on and do any returns right away. I do a lot of my Christmas shopping here! I recently found a gorgeous dress in store but unfortunately the beading was very messed up. They were unable to offer a discount on the dress but I found it online and shipped to store and it was perfect.

Toad & Co. is a national chain with clothing in the sporty/woodsy/beachy/athletic vibe for both men…read moreand women and I've always liked their things in general; the quality is good and I've never had anything not fit well or be anything less than comfortable. So having a branch here in Portland is great--and take note that not only do they have great sales, but there's a seconds/repurposed area toward the back (and sometimes special displays) with items from the brand that are being re/upcycled, all of which cost less than regular price. What's even better is how local the vibe is in the store, and how well connected they are with the wider community of makers. Along with the brand's products the store carries little locally made gifts: everything from jewelry to soap to playing cards and chocolates. There's no set selection, but you'll always find little collections of items for sale around the store. And this weekend Toad & Co. hosted a holiday makers' market in the large back warehouse room, which was awesome! This brought in a bunch of Maine makers selling pottery, coffee, jewelry, leather goods, knitwear, cards, books, candles . . . basically I got most of my Christmas shopping done here! I love that Toad & Co. is sponsoring something like this and really connecting with the community--definitely the kind of business I want to support.

Suger is one of my wife's favorite stores!

Aside from their clothing, both locations (Biddeford store as well) have many odds and ends, including jewelry that is made by smaller companies, some home goods like blankets, pillows and decorations; hats, shoes and belts, stationary, a few baby clothing items and some good gift items. Staff is helpful and there are many that go out of their way to make your experience shopping a good one. Clothing is also online on their website. This spot is not to be missed.

Their products are known to be pricy, but the materials used are top-of-the-line and the quality unmatched. I can't speak much to anything I own from them, because it's simply out of my price range, but it's a wonderfully-curated store located right on Exchange that is perfect for the high-end fashionista in your life.

Etsy/garage sale, and any other way you'd like to describe is appropriate. Some will make you want to buy it instantly while some others may make you question who in the world would buy it besides as a gag gift. For example, some stickers of not safe for work body parts that are not close to being anatomically correct or doing lewd acts, that will give you some laughs while looking at them. Even if you are just looking to browse and not buy I believe this is a store worth checking out! The worker was friendly enough and tried greeting those who entered. Prices are hard to judge as I think some of the items are unlikely to be found many other spots so the value is up to the buyer. Like I said though worth a stop in even just for a quick Look around!

This store really helped Portland make a great first impression. When I did move to Portland the following year, I started frequenting Corey on a weekly basis. Three years later, my closet is easily 75% from Corey & Co. The owner and sales associate are both so warm and friendly. Going into the store is truly a lift to my day, and helped me feel right at home when I was still new to Maine. The clothes are classic and understated, with a European or Scandinavian feel. Inventory is carefully curated from small, independent designers from Maine, NYC, France, Denmark and beyond. The owner is so knowledgable about each piece, making insightful recommendations and providing the back story for each designer, making cheerful conversation along the way. I could go on and on. In short, I love this place!
